These blinds have long operating cords that pose a risk of entrapment and strangulations to children. They violate federal safety regulations for window coverings and labeling. 


About 4,900 units were sold exclusively on Amazon.com across the United States from December 2022 through September 2024.


Secure these window blind cords out of children’s reach and contact Zhejiang Mingjing Textile via email at [email protected] to receive a free repair kit with a replacement operating cord device or a free cordless blind.
